Should a prospective engineering major not apply to ANY schools without engineering?

Given that the OP has already run NPCs on the possible colleges, why is everyone discussing financial aid using generalized assumptions? NPCs are more accurate estimates of financial aid for the individual student’s situation than generalized assumptions are, even with the caution about small business income.



PurpleTitan:

I really doubt that employers would see a STEM degree from the U of C as “not credible”. Read up on the molecular engineering initiative at the U of C. They’re evidently hiring the top people in that field.



Depends on the purpose. If the employer wants a chemical engineer who has completed a traditional ABET-accredited chemical engineering degree, then attending a school with such a degree program makes the most sense.
